“I love this song so much is one of my favorites for my record and I'm so happy that's out there for everyone, but I love it so much,” Sam Smith told Clara Amfo about the song. “Huge, huge day. I mean, I still can't believe it. The reaction to it's been just magical. So I'm just so thankful to everyone and I just for me I wanted to continue. I want to keep people dancing. There's other music coming and I caught this plan for the record, how to deliver it and keep people moving.”- They said of making process of the song, “Me and Jessie wrote this song in Jamaica with some incredible musicians and writers and stuff and we wrote is one of the most fun writing sessions I've ever had. So we wrote it and then we send it to Koffee, because we both adore Koffee. And Koffee heard it and jumped on it. And I remember showing Jessie and just screaming when we heard the verse because we just adore Koffee and it was just an honor to work with these people. And it was just so much fun. I've never had that much fun writing a song before.”
The new album comprises 13-track, featuring guest appearances from Jessie Reyez, Kim Petras, Koffee, and Ed Sheeran.
Sam Smith said of the album, “It feels like emotional, sexual, and spiritual liberation. It was beautiful, with this album, to sing freely again. Oddly, it feels like my first-ever record. And it feels like a coming of age.” - source : BBC Radio 1
